When creating an entry for a noun, there are several things that you want to make sure of first. First, look on the English Wiktionary click here for English Wiktionary for the word that you want to create using the search option. If it is a noun, then follow these steps:

First, on the new entry here, type in ==Noun== up top of the page. This is because the entry is a noun.

Second, right below the ==Noun== heading, type in {{noun}} if the noun is a regular noun, or if the noun is an irregular noun, such as cities, type in {{irrnoun|<type in plural of noun here>}}

Third, right below that, type in the # followed by the definition of the word in Simple English. The definition can be simplified from the English Wiktionary's entry for the same word.

Fourth, on the English Wiktionary's entry for the word, see if there is a heading titled, Pronunciation. If there is a heading titled Pronunciation, see if there are any pronunciations for the word. Copy them if there are and paste them above the ==Noun== heading.

Fifth, if there are any Synonyms or Antonyms for the word that you made on the English Wiktionary's entry for the entry here you are making, add them underneath the headings ===Synonyms=== for synonyms and ===Antonyms=== for antonyms. Place them underneath the simplified definition of the word.

Sixth, if the English Wiktionary has a heading titled Derived terms or Related terms, take the most commonly used of them and add them to a heading underneath any Synonym or Antonym headings titled ===Related words===.

Seventh, if the entry that you made belongs in a category, put it in that category. For example, add the category Category:Foods to the entry for strawberry.

Eighth, look on the English Wiktionary's entry for the word you are creating. If there is a heading titled Alternate spellings, add a heading above the ==Noun== heading, but below the ===Pronunciation=== using the ===Other spellings=== heading.

Ninth, if you can have more than one of the same type of noun, for example, five balloons, then add the {{countable}} template right after the # of the definition. This rule only needs to be followed for noun entries.

However, if the noun cannot be quantified, for example, like clarity, then follow these:

First, instead of adding {{countable}} in front of the # of the definition line, add {{uncountable}} in the same place. This rule only needs to be followed for noun entries.

Second, instead of adding {{noun}} right beneath the ==Noun== heading, type in {{noun|<insert title of noun entry here>|none}} instead. This rule only needs to be followed for noun entries.

Finally, add the interwiki link to the English Wiktionary using the following syntax: [[en:<insert title of entry here>]]

If there is no Pronunciation, Synonyms, Antonyms, Derived terms, Related terms, or Alternate spellings headings on the English Wiktionary's entry for the word you are wanting to add, then don't add them.

Please be warned when making verb entries. Some of the tenses of the verb can be irregular. For example, the verb go is irregular. Instead of adding just the {{verb}} template, add the following (example): {{verb|go|goes|gone|gone|going}} instead. The syntax is as follows: {{verb|<insert entry name here<|<insert third person singular tense here>|<insert past tense+ participle here>|<insert past tense+participle here>|<insert present tense here>}}

When adding adjective entries, there is an extra step(s) that one must take as well:

When looking at the English Wiktionary's entry for the word you are adding, see if the adjective is comparable or not comparable. If it is comparable, instead of just {{adjective}}, add {{adjective|more=true}} to the entry in the same spot as the previous types of entries. If it is not comparable, instead of just {{adjective}}, add {{adjective|more=false}} to the entry in the same spot as the previous types of entries.

If the adjective has specific spellings of the comparative and superlative tenses of the word, for example, quick, quicker, and quickest, type this in: {{adjective|<insert entry title here>|<insert the comparative form here>|<insert the superlative form here>}}.

There are some words, like up or down, that require you to make an entry for more than one part of speech. For example, if you need to make an entry for a word that is both a noun and a verb, follow the rules for both noun entries and verb entries, only put the headings for both ==Noun== and ==Verb== right above and beneath one another. For example, right beneath the whole part for the noun entry, add the verb entry. Think of it as writing a noun entry and a verb entry on the same page.

There are a few things to remember when doing this, though:

Synonyms and antonyms should be written underneath the part of speech for which they are antonyms and synonyms.

Categories and interwikis go at the bottom of the page instead of at the bottom of both the noun and verb entries. You just write the interwiki and category at the bottom of the entire entry.

Make sure that they are proper parts of speech for said word you are writing an entry for.

An example sentence is a sentence that is written right after a definition in an entry that helps the reader of the entry understand how to properly use the word the entry is about. They are always written right after the definition that they are trying to show a use for. They need to be written in a simple way, and they need to exemplify the word in question.

To add an example sentence to an entry, including your own, add the following underneath the definition that you want to add an example sentence to:

That is just an example of how one can add an example sentence to an entry, including your own. Please make sure that there are no wikilinks in the example sentence, and that the word that the entry is about is bolded. In the case of the example above, the word beam should be bolded. Also, example sentences are usually written in italics; this is done by enclosing the entire example sentence in two apostrophes.

Synonyms of words are different words that have the same meaning as the word that your entry is about. For example, if an entry was being written for the word strong, an example of a synonym would be powerful.

Antonyms of words are different words that mean the opposite of the word that your entry is about. For example, if an entry was being written for the word strong, an example of an antonym would be weak or feeble.

Related words are words that are related to the word that your entry is about. For example, if an entry was being written for the word strong, an example of a related word would be strongly.

The see also section of an entry is where words that relate to the same concept of the word that entry is about are placed. For example, if an entry was being written for the word acid, an example of a word that could be placed under the see also header could be chemistry, or if an entry was being written for strong, an example of a word that could be placed under the see also header in the entry could be strength.

These should all be written after the definition and example sentence of the part of speech of the entry that they relate to.

The order shown above should be the order in which the headers for each part of speech should be used in, however, please note that not every part of speech will have all of these headers. They should only be added to an entry in the following cases:

If there are other words that has the same meaning as one of the definitions in the entry being written.

If there are other words that mean the opposite of any of the definitions in the entry being written.

If there are words that relate to the word that the entry is currently being written about.

If there are words that relate to a topic or subject of a word that an entry is being written about.

In most cases, a see also section isn't needed, but in some cases, especially when writing entries about very common words, such as tree and lake, they should be used. In most other cases, especially when writing about more complex words like demoralize and advantageous, the see also header isn't needed because it is already taken care of by the other headers in the entry or because the word the entry is about is too complex of a word to have any words to place under a see also header, or because the word is too vague to find a specific topic to find other words to put into the see also header.

This should be done more than once if an entry has more than one part of speech that have different synonyms, antonyms, and related words.
